Moves in Curves

I watched MTV’s Video Music Awards tonight, hanging out with friends. I haven’t watched MTV in about ten years, and I don’t think I’ve seen the VMAs since about 1997. I didn’t recognize half of the people there, a sure sign I’m getting older. I’m sitting there going “Who the hell is Taylor Swift?”

That poor baby. She won her first award and was so happy and obviously truly surprised, and jackass Kanye West goes up there and ruins her moment. She’s just a teenager, man! What is wrong with you? Have you no class at all? What would your late mama say? She didn’t raise him like that. And poor Beyonce looked horrified that he’d done that in her name. You could see when Taylor started her performance that she’d been crying. I’d never heard her sing before, and frankly it was nothing special. I thought Beyonce should have won, but damned if I wasn’t rooting for Taylor after what Kanye did. She looked so broken.

Everyone knows Beyonce’s video is amazing and would win at least one award – it’s friggin’ iconic at this point. Drag queens impersonate her and do her choreography (that’s when you know you’ve made it). And it did win. And Beyonce, because she is a lady and her mama raised her right, she gave up her moment to Taylor. I was so proud of our girl B. She’s wonderful. My friend sitting next to me said “I just love her. She should sell something so I can buy it.”

It’s a shame he didn’t try that shit on Pink. Pink would have punched him in the face.

Lady Gaga. What can you say about the Gaga? She’s nuts. She’s batshit. I fucking love her. The performance was amazing, her costumes were insane, and she has talent seeping out her every pore. Her entire life is a piece of performance art, and I love her for it.
